Pros

I worked at a startup that was aquired by Microsoft. The people in the team I worked with and the teams I interacted with were very knowledgeable, well qualified, encouraging and helpful. The managers were provided useful feedback and appreciated any extra work that was put in. It was my first job out of college and I was there for a little over a year and overall it was a very good experience.

Cons

too many contractors and temp employees
